"This program proposes to develop a power source capable of producing a high-output directional transmission of acoustic energy, using piezoelectric spring-shaped drivers produced using ACR's Fibrous Monolith (FM) technology. These "springs" will consistof a piezo-electric core surrounded by a conductive metal outer layer, and will be configured to provide the desired acoustic output signal while ...

Not Available Kestrel Corporation proposes a new technology that can overcome the chromatic induced optical aberrations broadband imaging systems such as multi and hyperspectral imagers. This technology has the potential of correcting one of the limiting factors in the ultimate spectral and spatial resolution that can be obtained in these critical sensors. In this Phase I SBIR, we will first inco ...

"Coprime proposes to investigate the applicability of learning-based source separation methodologies to the problem of multiple targets in a complex acoustic environment. The Phase I effort will focus on identifying viable learning-based source separationalgorithms specifically tuned to the multiple combat vehicle scenario. A prototype architecture will be developed and numerical software rapidly ...

Not Available F&S along with its development partners propose to commercialize a fluorescent-based fiber sensor and signal conditioning system that is capable of measuring low levels of biological warfare agents. With the proliferation of biological weapons, the outbreak of food poisoning occurrences, and the spread of antibiotic resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria, the demand has arisen fo ...

Not Available A need exists for an energetic material whose energy release rate and magnitude can be controlled so that it can provide either high internal blast or high metal acceleration or a muted output. This material is needed in conjunction with an adaptable ordnance technology program intended to develop a single package capable of producing multiple kill mechanism. Conducting Materials Co ...

"The materials properties and inability to grind highly hardened steel into face gears as well as their weight, have limited their inherent advantage and application in high power density aerospace and transportation systems. Laser fusion free-formfabrication has demonstrated custom material compositions can be net shaped produced with superior properties to the same material conventionally forme ...

Not Available Sensor technology is developing to meet the demands of remote sensing, particularly hyperspectral imaging. Remote sensing as applied to object surveillance, detection discrimination, identification or other signature imaging requires spectroradiometric calibration of the sensors. AZ Technology proposes to develop a transportable standard calibration source for the spectral range 0.5 ...

Not Available A method has been developed for improving the appearance, performance, and overall quality of visual scenes rendered in real time from large area terrain databases. An innovative modeling and database development technique called Splotting, provides for the building of high-resolution databases comprised of high-resolution models incorporated into lower resolution source imagery. Sp ...

"Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies (PADT) proposes to develop two particle collection and concentration devices, one designed for 100 LPM and another for the 600 LPM flow rate. Both configurations will be optimized for collection efficiency, powerconsumption, size, cost, and weight. The proposed solution is comprised of a custom inlet, a novel collection chamber, and a continuous gas-to-l ...
